Trump’s Attack on Access to Passports for Transgender, Intersex, and Non-Binary U.S. Citizens
Following a January 2025 executive order from President Donald Trump barring people from updating the sex designation on their passports, the Íøºì±¬ÁÏ filed a federal lawsuit challenging the State Department’s refusal to issue passports with accurate sex designations on behalf of seven transgender, nonbinary, and intersex people. On June 17, 2025, a federal court granted plaintiffs’ motions for class certification and for a preliminary injunction. The preliminary injunction allows many transgender, nonbinary, and intersex people to receive passports with accurate sex markers while this litigation is pending. Read more about the Íøºì±¬ÁÏ’s lawsuit, the preliminary injunction, and how to apply for an accurate passport below.
